LaVar Ball, father of UCLA star freshman Lonzo Ball and two other high-school prodigies, has gone after Michael Jordan, LeBron James, the NCAA, and much more. Keep track of all his outrageous comments in one place.

After Wall said he would show “no mercy” to the rookie Ball, the Wizards blew a late lead and took their first loss of the season, with LaVar getting the last laugh. Actually it was the second-to-last laugh. For Wall, social media will be in tears at him for at least another 24 hours.

But’s it’s LaVar’s talking that has earned the most headlines lately. He’s said his son Lonzo is better than Stephen Curry.
